getting out of one’s comfort zone

so hear me out - granted, she has ALL of the resources at her power,
and how she acquired them, who really knows, except there are some
legendary things like retaking all of her albums’ ownership back in the
way that she has, but if you watch this video the thing that’s the biggest
to me is the lyrics are great, it's an incredibly lush and very intense and
organized large cast choreographed video that goes quite a few places,
the music is splendid (an odd thing about it is the verses, i think, are better
than the chorus both lyrics-wise and music-wise – i’ve only watched/listened
to it twice, though, so i can’t be too sure, time will tell, and the thing it most
reminds me of in relation to her output is a more confident, slightly less fancy
or percussion-driven updo of shake it off, which is the song that had me giving
in to her music for the first time, but then as i’ve told you i saw her on the
voice as a coach for a few weeks and clearly she has an inspiring teaching,
marketing way, and is at ease with nudging the creativity out of seemingly
anyone. it seems quite a unique gift. and she never steers away from her

likeability.  which is stunning. always emphasizing the music while combining

the show of it all over everything - and her literal body/dance movements in 

this video are at times subliminal.  and it is topped ine the end with “written 

& directed by taylor swift.” well. she does have it. this is a really good song. 

it’s hard for me, too, since she’s too everywhere sometimes. i’m obviously
not always into mainstream-wide pop celebrities, but i guess i am moreso 

than you are or the alternative-obsessed folks i have known throughout 

my life.  so kudos to her, i say.
